  Luke chapter 19. He entered Jericho and was
• 0:03
  passing through and there was a man called by the name of
• 0:05
  Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector
• 0:07
  and he was rich. Zacchaeus was trying to see who
• 0:10
  Jesus was and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small
• 0:13
  in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed
• 0:16
  up into a Sycamore tree in order to see him, for he was about to
• 0:19
  pass through that way. When Jesus came to the place, he
• 0:22
  looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry and come down,
• 0:25
  for today I must stay at your house.
• 0:28
  And he hurried and came down and received him gladly.
• 0:30
  When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, He has gone
• 0:34
  to be the guest of a man who is a Sinner.
• 0:36
  Zacchaeus stopped and said to the Lord, Behold Lord, half of
• 0:40
  my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have
• 0:43
  defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as
• 0:46
  much. And Jesus said to him, today
• 0:48
  salvation has come to this house, because he too is the son
• 0:52
  of Abraham, for the son of man has come to seek and save that
• 0:55
  which was lost. While they were listening to
• 0:58
  these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because he was
• 1:00
  near Jerusalem and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was
• 1:03
  going to appear immediately. So he said, a nobleman went to a
• 1:07
  distant country to receive a Kingdom for himself and then
• 1:09
  return. And he called ten of his slaves
• 1:12
  and gave them 10 Minas and said to them, Do business with this
• 1:15
  until I come back. But his citizens hated him and
• 1:18
  sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not want this man
• 1:21
  to reign over us. When he returned after receiving
• 1:24
  the Kingdom, he ordered that these slaves to whom he had
• 1:27
  given the money be called to him so that he might know what
• 1:30
  business they had done. The first appeared saying,
• 1:33
  Master Yermina has made 10 menas more.
• 1:36
  And he said to him, Well done, good slave, because you've been
• 1:39
  faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over
• 1:42
  10 cities. The second came saying Yermina,
• 1:45
  Master has made 5 menas and he said to him also and you are to
• 1:50
  be over 5 cities. Another came saying, Master,
• 1:53
  here is your MENA, which I kept put away in a handkerchief, for
• 1:57
  I was afraid of you because you are an exacting man.
• 2:01
  You take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not
• 2:04
  sow. He said to him, by your own
• 2:07
  words I will judge you, you worthless slave.
• 2:10
  Did you know that I am an exacting man, taking up what I
• 2:13
  did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?
• 2:16
  Then why did you not put my money in the bank?
• 2:18
  And having come, I would have collected it with interest.
• 2:21
  Then he said to the bystanders, Take the MENA away from him and
• 2:24
  give it to the one who has 10 menas.
• 2:27
  And they said to him, Master, he has 10 menas already.
• 2:30
  I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but
• 2:34
  from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be
• 2:36
  taken away. But these enemies of mine who
• 2:39
  did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay
• 2:42
  them in my presence. After he had said these things,
• 2:46
  he was going on ahead, coming up to Jerusalem.
• 2:48
  When he approached Bethpage and Bethany near the mount that is
• 2:51
  called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples saying, Go into
• 2:54
  the village ahead of you. There as you enter, you will
• 2:57
  find a colt, Tide, on which no one yet has ever sat.
• 3:00
  Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you why are you
• 3:03
  untieing it, you shall say the Lord has need of it.
• 3:06
  So those who were sent away went and found it, just as he had
• 3:09
  told them. As they were untying the colt,
• 3:11
  its owners said to them, Why are you untying the colt?
• 3:14
  They said, The Lord has need of it.
• 3:16
  They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the
• 3:19
  colt and put Jesus on it. As he was going, they were
• 3:22
  spreading their coats on the road.
• 3:24
  As soon as he was approaching near the descent of the Mount of
• 3:26
  Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God
• 3:29
  joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had
• 3:32
  seen shouting. Blessed is the King, who comes
• 3:35
  in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory in the
• 3:38
  highest. Some of the Pharisees in the
• 3:41
  crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples.
• 3:44
  But Jesus answered, I tell you, if these become silent, the
• 3:48
  stones will cry out. When he approached Jerusalem, he
• 3:51
  saw the city and wept over it, saying, If you had known in this
• 3:54
  day even you, the things which make for peace, but now they
• 3:58
  have been hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you
• 4:01
  when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you and
• 4:04
  surround you and hem you in on every side, and they will level
• 4:07
  you to the ground and your children within you, and they
• 4:10
  will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did
• 4:13
  not recognize the time of your visitation.
• 4:17
  Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who
• 4:19
  were selling, saying to them, It is written, and My house shall
• 4:23
  be a House of prayer. But you have made it a robber's
• 4:26
  den. And he was teaching daily in the
• 4:28
  temple. But the chief priests and the
• 4:30
  scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to
• 4:33
  destroy him, and they could not find anything that they might
• 4:36
  do. For all the people were hanging
• 4:38
  on to every word, he said.
